About Voyageurs du Monde

Voyageurs du Monde is a French premium travel group best known for its bespoke tailor-made trips, adventure travel, and, more recently, cycling holidays. Listed on Euronext Growth Paris under ticker ALVDM and ISIN FR0004045847, the company has built a differentiated position in the tourism industry by focusing on personalization, high-touch service and a responsible approach to travel. The business was originally founded in 1979 by Claude Saulière under the name Carrefour des Voyages, and was later taken over in 1996 by Alain Capestan and Jean‑François Rial, who helped turn it into a leading specialist in custom travel. The group operates through several complementary brands and product families. Its tailor-made travel division includes Voyageurs du Monde, Comptoir des Voyages, Original Travel, Bynativ and Extraordinary Journeys. The adventure travel division is built around Terres d’Aventure, Nomade Aventure, Allibert Trekking, Chamina Voyages, KE Adventure Travel and Mickledore Travel Limited. A third pillar, cycling travel, includes Eurofun Touristik, Loire Valley Travel, Radweg Reisen, Ruckenwind Reisen and SE Tours. In 2024, tailor-made travel accounted for 56% of revenue, adventure travel for 28%, and cycling travel for 16%. Operationally, Voyageurs du Monde combines physical agencies and digital channels, with a footprint across France and abroad. Its expansion has been driven by both organic growth and selective acquisitions, including the purchase of Original Travel in London in 2017. The group is also present through subsidiaries and investments in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, the United States, Japan, Belgium, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa and multiple European markets. In 2024, the company delivered solid profitable growth despite a challenging geopolitical backdrop. Revenue reached €735.3 million, up 6.0% year on year, EBITDA came in at €68.3 million, and net income attributable to the group rose to €47.5 million. The group also continued to expand in cycling and completed a share buyback transaction, reflecting an active capital allocation policy. Beyond its financial profile, Voyageurs du Monde stands out for its premium niche positioning, strong service culture and long-standing commitment to more responsible tourism.
